Moonrise from 45,000 feet

    Skeptic Billy Derbyshire took this picture from the cockpit of a Gulfstream II business jet from about 45,000 feet, about 300 nautical miles west of Bermuda.

    Note the shadows of the clouds stretching to the East, toward the Moon. Beautiful!

      Hey there! Thank you for sharing this photo on Flickr, I love it. I like it so much, in fact, that I featured it in Photocritic's most recent article, 100 amazing iPhone photos.

      Rock on,
